phonon4qt5 is a feature and API equivalent library built against Qt 5 rather than Qt 4. Phonon4Qt5 is built from the same source; requires the cmake option PHONON_BUILD_PHONON4QT5 and a separate build directory from Qt 4.
- phonon4qt5 supports a backend preference system independent of platform plugins and completely implemented using Qt technology.
- phonon4qt5 integrates with Qt 5's QMake and can be used by setting QT += phonon4qt5 in your project file (please note that this may require building phonon4qt5 with -DPHONON_INSTALL_QT_EXTENSIONS_INTO_SYSTEM_QT=ON so that QMake finds the necessary files).
- For further information please have a look at the Phonon4Qt5 documentation.
MediaSource(QString) is now deprecated, MediaSource(QUrl) should be used instead.
New build option PHONON_ASSERT_STATES to debug incoherent or incorrect state changes from the backend.
Documentation cleanup.
Normalized internal QObject connections.
Experimental support for building libphonon using QMake; limited control over feature set and installation path.
By default both official Phonon backends try to find a matching subtitle file for videos.
Phonon's CMake build now uses CMake's own GNUInstallDirs which on most systems should correctly figure out where to put library files (in particular with regards to multi-architecture support on Linux). Should you wish to manually set the library installation path, please use CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR rather than LIB_INSTALL_DIR from now on.

Additional subtitle API (only partially backed by Phonon VLC - see FeatureMatrix) [#300967].
BluRay support in libphonon (only backed by Phonon VLC) [#279822].

New AudioOutputInterface47 allowing backends to get the Phonon Pulseaudio stream mapping ID which can be used together with PulseSupport::streamProperties to prevent [#321288]. Requires PHONON_BACKEND_VERSION_4_7 to be defined as with all new interface versions.

AudioOutput::setVolume can now be called before entering Phonon::Playing state regardless of whether PulseAudio is in use or not [#321172].
Consecutive streams no longer override each other's PulseAudio stream mapping [#321288].
